Miao Yi couldn't find it no matter where he looked. He suddenly wondered if his expectations had been too high. Who said that this was definitely the hidden treasure of the Devil Path's Sovereign? Back then, when there was only the treasure map of the Unparalleled Great Demonic Art, he thought that it was the treasure of the Supreme Demonic Master. Now that there was the Immeasurable Great Technique, how could he still be sure that it was the Supreme Demonic Master?
Combining the two treasure maps, he suspected that the person who hid the treasure was not some supreme demonic cultivator at all.
After figuring this out, Miao Qing was utterly disappointed. He could only give up on his blind search, circling around the trapped Fire Lizard a few times before shaking his head and diving back into the scorching lava.
He flew out from the belly of the volcano and landed on the top of the volcano. Then, he looked back down and sighed with emotion. Even if someone went down there, they wouldn't have searched everywhere if they didn't know there were treasures here. In the end, they found a small entrance in the magma thousands of feet deep. From Jupiter to here, they had searched all the way. The person who found the treasure was really meticulous.
As soon as he returned to the Skytraversing Palace, Miao Yi took out the Star Bell and contacted Ba Jie, but there was no response. He had no idea what was going on with that bastard, and it wasn't convenient for him to stay here any longer. The Great Ensemble was probably running out of patience, so Miao Yi decided to bid farewell to the Skytraversing Palace.
As usual, the Skytraversing Palace kept their word. As before, they sent Ming Zhao and the other two Rainbow Lotus cultivators to escort them across the stars, all the way to Tianyuan Planet.
After being sent into Sky Street City, Ming Zhao and the other two could be considered to have completed their mission. Both parties bade each other farewell.
The people who followed them from the starry sky were obviously from the Great Ensemble. They followed them into the city and met Ming Zhao and the other two. The three of them exchanged glances with the rest of the crowd, then Ming Zhao turned to look at Miao Yi. Soon after, the three of them left the city.
Miao Yi looked at the group of people from the Great Ensemble and didn't say much. He turned around and went straight to the Morality Goods Store, where he met Master Yu Xu.
When he saw Miao Yi, Reverend Yu Xu felt rather ashamed. He extended his hand and invited Miao Yi to take a seat. "Benefactor, give up the Sundry Goods Store … The Vital Energy Sect really has no other choice!" A contract was presented with both of his hands, and his face was filled with sweat.
Miao Yi knew that the Vitality Sect definitely didn't know that the Great Ensemble was hunting him down. Some things couldn't be changed now. There was no point in saying more. Miao Yi took the contract and read through it. Then, without any hesitation, he said, "I can't hold on to this anymore. I'm going to make my move as well! Daoist Master, could I trouble you to settle my unpaid dividends from the Sundry Goods Store? I don't think there will be any problems, right? "
Perfected Jade Void nodded. He asked, "When do you want it?"
Miao Yi said, "Now, the sooner the better. Convert all of them into Basic Immortal Pills. I don't have much time left."
"Alright!" Spiritual Master Yu Xu agreed and told him to wait. He immediately went to deal with it himself.
Nearly two hours later, Master Yu Xu handed over a storage bangle and a jade disc to Miao Yi for him to check.
Miao Yi was shocked when he saw the details on the jade disk. He then looked at the items inside the storage bangle, but it didn't seem to match. He couldn't help but ask in surprise, "Sage, is there a mistake?"
Spiritual Master Yu Xu shook his head and said, "There's a total of three hundred and fifty years worth of dividends. Last time, you took away one trillion and one hundred billion worth of Basic Immortal Pills. Not long ago, you took another two hundred billion. The remaining five hundred billion was exchanged for five million Basic Immortal Pills. They're all in the storage ring."
Last time, he gave the two hundred billion to Yun Zhiqiu. Miao Yi raised the jade disc and asked curiously, "Then what's with the three hundred and sixty billion Red Crystals in this jade disc?"
Spiritual Master Yu Xu was silent for a moment, then said, "This is the Sect Master's will. He said that if the Vitality Sect can't handle the pressure, then the Scholar's side can't either. If the Scholar's side wants to withdraw, then we won't be going with the dividends. Based on how Commander Xia Hou withdraws his profits, he gave you the remaining half as well. He said that you will definitely need it in the future. I can't take out the remaining eighteen hundred billion Red Crystals in a short time. If I empty this place, it will affect the business, and I won't be able to answer to the other owners. So, I've already informed the other nine shops. They will send over the eighteen million Basic Immortal Pills as soon as possible. "
Miao Yi was touched. The Vitality Sect was trying their best to help him get the most out of this. He paused and asked, "This won't affect the Vitality Sect in any way, right?"
Spiritual Master Yu Xu smiled bitterly and said, "This is what you deserve. It's only right for you to withdraw the profits. We won't be affected in any way. On the other hand, the Vitality Sect owes the Scholar a lot. It's all thanks to the Scholar's help that the Vitality Sect can achieve what it is today. We can't help you with anything else. Come to think of it, when we first started this grocery store, we only wanted to make some money. We never thought that we would create a business model that has never been seen before in the cultivation realm. Everyone is envious of us. As the saying goes, an innocent man gets into trouble because of his wealth! "
"I won't say any more words of gratitude!" Miao Yi cupped his fists and thanked him, then said, "I won't have any income in the future. I do need these cultivation resources now, so I won't hold back. Spiritual Master, give me ten million Basic Immortal Pills and eight hundred billion Red Crystals for the remaining eighteen hundred billion. "
"Alright!" Spiritual Master Yu Xu nodded. "But they can't be delivered now. I'm afraid we'll have to wait for a few days before they can be delivered."
"Alright! I have some matters to attend to, so I'll be leaving first. Please let me know when they've arrived. "
"Rest assured, Scholar."
"One more thing. I hope Spiritual Master can give me a list of the people who swallowed the grocery store's profits."
Spiritual Master Yu Xu was shocked. "Scholar, you mustn't be reckless. You can't afford to offend those people."
Miao Yi smiled and said, "You're overthinking things, Spiritual Master. I don't want to die yet. I just have other uses for them." However, he added in his heart, 'Whoever swallowed my profits, I'll make them pay back with interest sooner or later. As long as they don't kill me, just you wait!'
After settling some matters, Miao Yi didn't dare to stay here any longer. He left the Vitality Grocery Store and headed straight for the Eastern District.
Along the way, the people from the Great Ensemble brazenly followed behind him, staring at him without a care in the world.
They wouldn't dare to make a move here anyway. Miao Yi wasn't afraid of them, but Huangfu Jun. Y would ask that bastard Xiahou Longcheng to use force, so he quickly hid in the territory of Xiahou Longcheng's nemesis, the Eastern District Governor's Office, and asked to see Kou Wenlan.
After a while, the guards let him in after notifying him. The people from the Great Ensemble stopped outside the Governor's Office and looked at each other. They didn't dare to trespass. One of them took out the Star Bell and contacted Huangfu Jun.
Miao Yi was led into the living room and waited for a while. Kou Wenlan came late and said with a smile, "Brother Niu, you're a rare guest!"
Miao Yi quickly stood up and bowed. "Greetings, Commander Kou!"
Kou Wenlan extended his hand and invited Miao Yi to have some tea. After he sat down, he took out a handkerchief and smiled, "I heard the people from the Great Ensemble are very interested in Brother Niu. I wonder what brings you here at this time?"
Miao Yi saw the smile in his eyes and felt that the man seemed to have guessed the reason for his visit. His heart skipped a beat. This man was much more cunning than Xiahou Longcheng.
"Commander, you're indeed well-informed! I wouldn't dare to give you advice. " There was no need for Miao Yi to hide anything anymore. He went straight to the point and said, "I believe Lord Commander already knows why the people from the Great Ensemble are chasing after me. For the sake of the twenty percent share of the Morality Sundry Goods Store in my hands, the Great Ensemble can be said to be overbearing. They have really gone too far. I would rather die in glory than live in dishonor. I am willing to offer the twenty percent share of the Morality Sundry Goods Store to Lord Commander!"
Kou Wenlan's eyes lit up.
People like him usually didn't pay attention to things like business. His reaction was a little slow. How could he not be compared to Huangfu Jun. Y had long seen the future of the grocery store and got involved in it. Even the idiot Xiahou Longcheng in his eyes had gotten twenty percent of the share.
It used to be an inconspicuous grocery store. Now that it had expanded, its rapid rise forced many businesses to complain. It immediately attracted the attention of too many people. After paying more attention, they were shocked to realize that this kind of business was practically doing business with the entire cultivation world. In the future, all the cultivators in the world would probably have to have a business relationship with this grocery store. One could imagine the considerable profits it would generate.
The higher the position, the higher the expenses, and the more people they had to support. The Kou family was no exception. Twenty percent of the grocery store's share was not a small amount!
Kou Wenlan slowly put down the handkerchief in his hand and smiled. "I'm afraid there's no such thing as a free lunch in this world. Just tell me your conditions."
There was no need to beat around the bush with this kind of person. Miao Yi said directly, "I just want to ask Commander for three small favors."
"Small favors?" Kou Wenlan raised his eyebrows and nodded slightly. "Let's hear it first."
Miao Yi stood up. "I, Niu Youde, am untalented. I wish to become an official in the Heavenly Court!"
This matter was not easy for the average person. The people the Heavenly Court accepted were usually those who had merits in the world and could demonstrate the teachings of the Heavenly Court. Even if they were mortals, as long as they had enough influence and could gather the power of will from the believers in the Heavenly Court, they could possibly receive a title from the Heavenly Court. In other words, they could become immortals or buddhas in the secular world. On this point, it was the same for the Buddhist sects that were on par with the Heavenly Court. As for the average cultivator who wanted to receive a title from the Heavenly Court, they would need at least three people from the Heavenly Court to recommend and vouch for them. Generally, those who were not very reliable would not vouch for them. Otherwise, they would be punished if something went wrong.
However, Miao Yi believed that this was not a difficult matter for the Kou family.
Kou Wenlan did not bat an eyelid. She cast a sidelong glance at him and asked calmly, "How high do you want to be?"
Miao Yi replied, "It doesn't matter. Everything will be arranged by the Commander."
Kou Wenlan said, "Two more? Tell me about it."
Miao Yi said, "When the Morality Sundry Goods Store first opened, I asked someone to borrow a bunch of accessories to attract customers. The Commander is aware of this. However, when I borrowed those accessories, I promised to help them set up a shop in Heaven Street. Unfortunately, my abilities have always been limited and I have never been able to fulfill my promise. That's why I sincerely ask the Commander to take care of one in East City District. "
Kou Wenlan asked again, "How big do you want the shop to be?"
Miao Yi replied, "It doesn't matter. Everything will be arranged by the Commander!"
